  • Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! One of my first videos on this channel was of the infamous Internet creepypasta that's part of it's own lore, the "Jeff" mythos. Tonight we sit down and explore an over 3 year long quest to find the origin. Thanks for watching!

    I'm a part of the JTK Image Search and it's cool to see you acknowledge our investigations Muta! As a longtime viewer of your channel, I think it's awesome that you know about an online community that I'm a part of! I have a feeling that within the next few months, we'll find the original image because we've got some pretty decent leads as of late. If and when we find the image, I'll come back to the video and comment that it is found.
    Update as of 3/19/2023: Everyone, The Internet Archive might cease to exist within the coming days due to potential copyright infringement. If The Internet Archive/ Wayback Machine become defunct, the search might have to end, and we might lose the chance of ever finding the original unedited image of Jeff The Killer. I hope that the Internet Archive will be able to maintain their existence so not only can we have some assurance of finding the image soon, but also so we can continue to archive Internet anomalies and other Internet materials and media for days to come. Thank You.

    We have already found the origins of images such as The Rake, Smile dog and Ahenobarbus henocied, But for some reason Jeff the killer has been the hardest one since its so old. Some people has claimed to have made the image, but its show to be older than the people have been making it claming it to be. The closest clue we have is that some japanese websites had it way way back in the day, before it was close to being famous around rest of the world.

    The original post was by a girl on 4chan, who was asking for tips on her makeup, and said make me pretty or something I can’t remember, as well as telling the thread how she felt like she needed something else to look good, the entire thread clowned on her by editing her pics to these images, such as jeff the killer
    this is the story i seemed to have figured out by my research and from the unedited image ive seen personally, although it was years ago and while the details were the same, i couldnt say for sure. she appeared to just be a classic asian woman smiling, and sorry to say but I don’t have the image anymore as I scrolled past it not thinking too much of it

    What's interesting is that this image became popular around the early 2000s soon after a popular culinary researcher in Japan, Sonoko Suzuki, passed away in December 2000. She was famous at the time for her super white face and bright red lips.
    I'm not saying that she's the source of the image, but I wouldn't be surprised if she had some influence in the way the image was edited. I found a random Japanese reddit comment that stated that they remember seeing a 2ch thread long time ago that apparently was all about editing random images to resemble Sonoko Suzuki.

If people were that dedicated to unearthing something like the Game Over screen origins from Hong Kong 97, even after the creator himself said he had no idea where it came from originally and he wanted people to let it go, then I have full confidence something like the Jeff the Killer origin picture can get the same treatment with enough investigation and research from the community.

    I first found your channel when you made that jeff the killer video! I would look up videos on jeff the killer, slenderman, haunted by disney all the time back then.
